“After the Fair Work Commission found Lattouf had been sacked last year, she took her case to the federal court alleging she was removed from air due to her political opinions and/or race three days into a five-day casual contract.”
Sacked 3 days into a 5 day casual contract. Something sounds off on both sides.
Management didn’t have to patiences or skills to wait 2 days until her contract expired? Am I reading that wrong.
And to be so horrible to work with they discussed canning her and then did.
There's emails back and forth between senior ABC leadership at the time explicitly setting they wanted her sacked because of pressure from a group of pro-Israel lobbyists. https://youtu.be/Tpc7r9y8LsY
